Good timing! There is lots to like in this photo - the ripples and texture of the water, the hint of a reflection, the one ruffled feather. Good work!

Soaring Red Tail Hawks

Hey, good find! You have done well to retain detail in the plumage together with keeping the blue of the sky.

Ah, a black swan - these are native to the Southern hemisphere, I knew. We do get them here in the Uk - they were brought here as ornamental birds for grand estate lakes in Victorian times, and some have escaped to the wild. They are notoriously hard to expose for properly, and you have made a good job of it.

Nice! i like the way the duck's head is turned towards the viewer, together with the good focus nad strong definition of the plumage patterns.

My goodness - I would never have thought these birds would roost in trees; they look far too large and ungainly!

You do have some wonderful wildlife! I can see where Ter is coming from - I think it may be that the camera exposure meter has been confused by the bright whites of the Ibis and over-exposed somewhat. I don't know your camera at all, so am unsure how much control you have to over-ride the camera deciding settings, but if you can I would suggest under-exposing by +1/3 of a stop from the camera recommendation.

An Elephant's Stare

Oh, this is good! I really like the way the textures of the elephant's truck echo those of the trees, but reversing horizontal for vertical.
